Okay so I came to a conclusion that I will definitely finish this story before my classes start which is September 1st. I have a feeling my artwork will take over my life this fall semester! But I think I have a idea for my next story :) I'm thinking a nice preview for you guys would be nice? Let me know!
I know that my famous running acts need to stop. Running from my problems doesn't do anything but show how much of a coward I really am. The fact is, I just don't want to face my problems. I look down at my hands and see them shaking. This night was going so well and it went downhill so fast. I just keep hurting Ashley, I can't keep doing this to her. She probably hates me, we aren't supposed to keep secrets from eachother and be honest. I should have told her my suspicions…but what if they were wrong? I would have just caused unneeded drama. The battle in my head was interrupted.
"You can't always run you know."
I knew that beautiful voice anywhere. I turned around to see Ashley there, she looked stressed out and just upset. She was crying.
"I know, I just didn't know what to say. Running seems to be the best answer in these situations." I answered.
"Running is never the answer Spencer! I-I just wish you told me." She ran her hand through her hair.
"Ash I honestly wasn't sure! I wasn't going to say something when I didn't know if that was true or not."
Ashley just shook her head at me. It made me angry and frustrated. "How am I supposed to trust you Spence? You ran from me twice and now you keep things from me that pretty much are a BIG deal!"
I became shocked at her answer. "Your right. I keep hurting you." I couldn't hold back the tears anymore. "I realized today that I'm just not good for you because I can't do anything but hurt you. I think it's time for you to go home and we will talk later."
I could tell she was holding back from crying even more and just walked into my truck. I followed behind her and got into the truck. The drive to her house was silent and it was killing me. She broke it.
"I can't have you running all the time and just letting you back in my life over and over again Spence. I think we should just spend some time apart and see what happens."
I got to her driveway and tears started pouring down my face. "You're breaking up with me?"
"I'll see you around." She got out of the car and started walking to her front door. I couldn't let her go. I got out of the car and ran towards her, I put the ring box in sweater pocket. I wanted to change this around, give her the ring and pretend any of this happened.
Ashley stopped me in my tracks. "Just stop Spencer okay? I'm sick of you doing this! I can't be stomped on! You can't just run and come back when you feel like, things need to change. I'm done Spencer. I'm sorry but I'm done."
I stood there shocked. I couldn't move, I couldn't feel anything but pain. So this is what it feels to have your heart ripped out? My chest began to close up, but the tears were stuck. Realization hit me and I started to back up. I started to run away like I always did.
"You see what I'm saying! You just back away and run!" She said screaming now. I just kept back up and staring into space. She began walking towards me, I saw her mouth move but I couldn't hear the words. I turned around and ran to the truck. I see Ashley look down at something and pick it up. I didn't know what it was, I just drove away.
When I got home I went straight upstairs and Riley came up to me. I pushed her out of my way and into my room, locking the door and falling to the floor. Romi came up to me and started licking my face. I held her in my arms and fell asleep.
Another short one I know! And I'm sorry! They will get longer :)Reviews!
